Yep! I like their software, but I’m a developer and power-user, and the way their stuff is artificially locked down to protect their money-printing trust screws me over as both a developer and power-user. If they started opening things up - even if it’s “open” like MacOS… I’d be inclined to buy more stuff.

The sad part is that at some point they were as open as everyone else, in Hypercard and Hotline (I know that's not Apple) times.

And the guy who turned it into this edge between scam and toys for stupid people is ironically one of the founders.
